Zumba fitness has great classes and cool clothing!

In addition to my many artistic and business endeavers, I am a Zumba instructor.  In case you are not familiar with Zumba, it is aerobics and simple dance moves set to latin and other world music.

Zumba enthusiasts are also a stylish group.  There are cute and colorful fitness clothes for sale on their website.  In their new magazine (http://www.zlifemag.com/) they have instructions about how to customize your clothing.

Check it out!

Kron Kron has the most artistic shoes I've ever seen

KRON BY KRONKRON The shoes, Kron by KronKron are designed by the owners of Kron and KronKron, Hugrún Árnadóttir and Magni Þorsteinsson stores. Hugrún graduated in 2000 as a fashion designer from Studio Berçot in Paris and Magni graduated in 1998 as a hairstylist in 1998. Their diverse backgrounds fuse together in a unique way. Hugrún and Magni have been in the shoe business since the year 2000 when they launched their first store. By 2004, KronKron was launched with the focus on young and upcoming designers as well as leading designers in the fashion world.  (photos and information from http://www.kronkron.com/)

I wish I could afford these shoes.  The price of shipping from Europe alone would be astronomical!

Christian Dior: inspired by belly dancers?

These styles from Christian Dior's resort collection in 2008 and 2008 appear to be inspired by belly dancers.  Lots of glitter and jewels, flowy fabrics.

Not your typical bicycle post.

Even before the fabulous Catherine Baba+bike pictures surfaced, I decided to make a bike my official form of transportation and failed miserably. Turns out sidewalks are not my friends and brakes seem to hate me, so that chapter was closed shut and locked.

Do you see anything shocking about me wanting to ride a bike to work? If you're in "third world country thinking mode", then YES. See, down here it's all about hierarchy. If you ride a bike, it's ONLY because you can't afford anything else. Either that, or you're a tourist.

It has nothing to do with enviromental consciousness, avoiding traffic, being healthy or fashionable. It gets you places. PERIOD. It's a shame, I know...but I also shamingly admit I have smirked at the sight of over-tanned caucasians pedaling their way across the streets. =S Sorry.

Observation of this Tommy Ton shot: I'm sure we all agree Miss Hanneli looks way too incredible. However, I have a question: Is there no such thing as pervs in NYC?!! Down here girls could never ever. In La Ceiba, a hint of exposed knickers would put me in headlines! And I'd perhaps even be expelled from our city forever! (Slight exaggeration =P)

Anyway, the hierarchy thing applies to most other things.

For example: cheap buses vs. comfy A/Cd expensive ones. I prefer the cheap, dirty ones because I find them more interesting and inspiring. The cheapness I obviously love but for me that's not the main attraction (which is what third world logic would indicate). I can't get my friends to come with me on these. Ugh.

(Pic re-post alert..woops) My sister and I on a Mirna bus (less than $5.00 for a 3 hour ride). Interesting stories about ilegally crossing borders and raising chickens are included. =) I love those and I'm not kidding! Only occasionally do I ride on the colder, more expensive (safer, blahblahh) ones. The latter are obviously less dangerous and they do plenty of ID checking, but I can't help it!! I heart Mirna buses even if they smell funky. =S

Inspiration shot:

Garifuna lady+pastel gingham+red leather+dark nails. LOOVE.

(I'm going to sound really weird for saying this, but in the Mirna buses I also get to sleep confidently with my mouth open because I don't feel judged...HOORAH! All I have to do is stay alert while doing so, to avoid waking up without any shoes on. Hahaa.)

On the road pic. Rusty red, army green, mustard yellow and hints of pastels. YUMMY. I need to make me some clothing ASAP.

Speaking of which, I finally wore this dress I sewed up with ugly scraps of fabric I had lying around. Not my fave, but was great pattern-making practice.

I haven't sewn much lately because I was sick for over 10 days AND my family and I just moved. It was dreadful and I've missed my sewing shop. =(

Cloud print shirt, bag and short: thrifted.

Ohhhh, and I already wore that one dress with the DIY straps I posted about before. Voila!

By the way, I'm not an angry person, I promise! (Boyfriend not allowed to comment. =P) It looks like so in the pictures because the sun is usually in my eyes. I work hard to tone down my obnoxious laugh...I'm not angry, I insist. =)

The sun has been more like on our everythinggg lately! It's the hottest summer we've EVER had...some people have even been getting sick! It's also making my brain dead and all I do is re-wear the same 'ol summery pieces.

Same peachy slip from last post. *yawn*

On me defense, I'm not the only one doing it. Geral: guilty!

My same dress & her same blue cropped jacket from last post. =O

Howeverr, I'm done with packing and I'm ready to make peace with the heat. I'll make sure to take better pictures on future bus rides so then maybe I'll (indirectly..ahermm) convince my friends that Mirna is the ONLY way to ride.

A salute to glam bikers all over the world...enjoy! And to other third worlders, whatever it is that you like riding in...enjoy! Even if it's cheap.

xoxo,

A slightly dehydrated Fabi.
